Tell Congress to Block Oil and Gas Drilling in the Arctic Refuge!

Drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge would devastate the land held sacred by the Gwich’in and other Indigenous peoples who depend on this cherished wildland for survival, further imperil threatened and endangered wildlife like polar bears, and set back our fight against climate change.

President Biden has directed his Interior Department to issue a temporary moratorium on oil and gas leasing — but some Republicans in Congress are determined to keep the land open for their Big Oil allies.

Fight for the Arctic Refuge today: Rush an urgent message to Congress asking them to step in and permanently protect the Arctic.

Dear lawmakers:

As your constituent, I urge you to permanently protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from destructive oil and gas drilling.

The Arctic Refuge is central to the culture and survival of the Gwich'in and other Indigenous peoples who depend on this irreplaceable wildland for survival.

Oil exploration and drilling in the Arctic Refuge will destroy the landscape, threaten Porcupine caribou as well as imperiled polar bears, gray wolves, and other wildlife, and worsen climate change.

Keeping the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge intact is crucial to the future of the planet -- and it doesn't belong to oil and gas companies, or their allies in Congress, to exploit. Please do your part to help -- first, by canceling the mandatory oil and gas leasing program started by the Trump administration and the leases the administration issued in its final days. And please do everything you can to fight for the Arctic Refuge and protect it from disastrous oil drilling, once and for all.
